Preparation

  1. Grease and flour a 12.5 x 8-inch (32 x 20 cm) baking pan.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  3. Beat the eggs with the sugar until pale and creamy.
  4. Add the oil and milk, and continue beating.
  5. Mix in the shredded coconut.
  6. Sift together the flour and baking powder, then fold into the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a large rectangular serving plate.
  9. While the cake is still warm, pour the hot milk evenly over the surface. The cake will absorb the milk (you can add more milk if desired).
  10. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top.
  11. Once cooled, cut into squares. For a chilled version, refrigerate the cake.
